What it changes when selling or buying in Sept-Îles
In Sept-Îles, the average price ($311,688) is not the price of a house: the median ($275,000) says what the middle home costs, and the average says how much the expensive 13% weigh. A buyer who trusts the average aims $36,688 too high; a seller of an ordinary home who benchmarks against it lists too high and ends up among the expired listings. The right reflex: start from the median, then look at comparable sales in your own sector. The sale price relative to the asking price, transaction by transaction, is in sold over asking in Sept-Îles.
How to read these figures
The average price adds up the prices of all single-family houses sold in the year and divides by their number; the median price is the middle one, half the sales above, half below. A few very expensive sales push the average up without touching the median: the gap between the two measures the weight of the high end. The median asking price is the median of the last listed prices of homes that sold; "sold vs asking" compares the two medians of the same year, which is not the same as the per-transaction ratio of our bidding-war page. 2026 (Jan. to Sep.) is a partial year.
